As if the oil companies needed another excuse to gouge us at the pump and for home heating oil. I expect we'll be paying over $4.00/gallon very soon. Our budget payment to heat our home has increased by 68%. An increase of $80.00 a month. Now with the Alaska pipeline shutting down I can see that I'll have to find a way to squeeze out more money each month so that we won't owe another huge bill at the end of the budget next July. Those of us who live on a fixed income are going to have to choose between heating our homes and putting food on the table.
